Solar Eclipse — 1/5 The Sun is the largest object in our solar system and is a 4.5 billion-year-old star – a hot glowing ball of hydrogen and helium at the center of the solar system. It is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers) from Earth, and without its energy, life as we know it could not exist here on our home planet. (Pixabay)

Its gravity holds the solar system together, keeping everything from the biggest planets to the smallest bits of debris in orbit around it. The hottest part of the Sun is its core, where temperatures top 27 million degrees Fahrenheit (15 million degrees Celsius). The Sun’s activity, from its powerful eruptions to the steady stream of charged particles it sends out, influences the nature of space throughout the solar system. (NASA)

But the show is not over. On October 25, the Earth will witness the second and the last partial solar eclipse of 2022. The solar storm will be best visible in parts of Western Russia, Kazakhstan and in some parts of India. However, many places in India and the world will also miss out on this grand spectacle.

How to watch the solar eclipse online

As you can see, a majority of the country will not see the beautiful yet haunting sight of the solar eclipse. And even the ones that do, will not get a close up view of the Sun. If that is something you're interested in, then The Virtual Telescope Project 2.0 is going to host a free livestream where it will capture a detailed view of the solar eclipse. The eclipse will be filmed from Rome, Italy and can be watched either on the official website or its YouTube channel.

The stream will begin at 2 PM IST on October 25.
